The early 20th century was a time when politics was still in change. Under the influence of the whole social trend, more revolutionary movements will soon be launched.
On the road to achieving resistance to feudalism and women's liberation, there is a revolutionary hero who is known as the female version of Tan Sitong, who still has a place in history textbooks
Her name is Qiu Jin.
About Qiu Jin's growing environment
Qiu Jin was born relatively rich, her father was a family of officials and eunuchs who took the road, and her mother was a famous lady of a famous family, in such an environment, Qiu Jin was born with the smell of books.
Qiu Jin has a heroic demeanor,
She also presented herself as the "Lady of the Lake"
In Qiu Jin's bones, it reveals the chivalrous spirit of saving lives and helping the injured, supporting justice, and sacrificing oneself for the public in martial arts novels. The cultivation of a person's personality has a lot to do with her growth environment, Qiu Jin often plays with her brothers, so the boy's personality and habits also slowly affect Qiu Jin, so in addition to the literati style produced by the influence of the family's book fragrance, Qiu Jin is also a female man who dares to shoot, ride horses, and compete.
Rather than saying that Qiu Jin is a female Haojie who can write and martial arts,
Rather, the courage that this girl has been slowly cultivated in the process of growing up will make her rich in the world and the world in her chest, and there will be rivers in her eyes.
About Qiu Jin's life before the revolution
Qiu Jin was already married before she chose to officially speak for ethnic groups and women. Qiu Jin's husband is called
Wang Tingjun
Although the husband and wife respect each other as guests after marriage, their feelings are relatively stable, and they have both children and daughters after marriage.
But very much
Wang Tingjun found that there were some points in his wife's personality that he could not accept.
These points are manifested in the fact that wives often wear men's clothes to go out to watch plays, and most of the people they usually interact with are more arrogant and revolutionary.
At that time, everyone knew that the revolution was not a shouting game, and once it failed, the family had to take the risk.
Therefore, he communicated with Qiu Jin many times, saying that you should not do this again, you should educate your children well at home and be a good wife and mother. Usually, he and Tang Qunying and Huang Jianhao should not be so closely in contact. Don't think about liberating Chinese women, think about how to save your family's life in a chaotic world.
As a result, some cracks slowly appeared in the feelings between the two.
In 1904, Qiu Jin sold her assets against her husband's objections
He still decided to join the new current of thought, and soon spontaneously formed the Society of Common Love, launched a series of women's movements, and took the lead in shouting for revolution.
Revolution is not just about shouting slogans, it needs to be actioned. At that time, the most vigorous propaganda was also the establishment of a newspaper, in which articles were published calling on everyone to get rid of outdated traditional ideas and welcome new trends of thought.
soon
Qiu Jin co-founded The China Women's Daily with a friend
He vigorously preached the revolution in his press, resisted feudalism, and actively called on everyone to join the tide of revolution.
However, the wide range of influence of the newspaper's propaganda efforts will also make Qiu Jin attract the hostility of the disgruntled.
Qiu Jin died in the revolution
Qiu Jin was killed in the plans of the Anqing Uprising in 1907. Mainly because before the operation, a man named Xu Wei was caught by political enemies and confessed Qiu Jin's name.
Why is it said that Qiu Jin is the female version of Tan Sitong?
Tan Sitong was also caught by political enemies when the plan failed, and all the people around him had already run to places they thought were safe before the arrest, and they thought that the living forces that retained their side could rekindle hope in the future. However, Tan Sitong believes that using his blood to appeal to everyone's consciousness in exchange for revolutionary fighting spirit is also a manifestation of realizing his own value.
Therefore, even if Tan Sitong knew that the plan had failed, he did not run away, and Qiu Jin did the same.
When everyone had run away, Qiu Jin thought that if the torch of revolution were to be lit with blood, then she would not back down. When the Qing army, which represented the power of feudalism, captured Qiu Jin, it not only used eighteen kinds of torture.
Moreover, he said to the outside world that the people around qiu Jin would be severely punished.
However, Qiu Jin is already married, she is not alone, she not only has a husband and an in-laws, but also a son and a daughter. Is it necessary to force the remaining family members to be implicated at this time?
As a result, everyone said that they were not familiar with Qiu Jin and had once opposed Qiu Jin's participation in the revolution without hesitation. Because Qiu Jin did not listen to advice, she had severed ties and contacts with her family.
In 1907, Qiu Jin was righteous in Shaoxing,
And in the nearly a week or so after he was killed, no relative dared to stand up and say, I will collect the body of the dead revolutionary.
But fortunately, Qiu Jin had several revolutionary friends before he died, and they were very flexible and courageous, aiming for several days before finding a glimmer of opportunity.
Qiu Jin's body was smuggled out and handed over to his youngest son, who was only 12 years old at the time, to arrange Qiu Jin's aftermath.
Qiu Jin sacrificed her life for the revolution and wanted to use her blood to awaken people's revolutionary anecdotes, but in the end, no one in her family dared to collect her body for her. What a sad and lamentable thing!
